"Despite a very tight timeline to complete our WAN transition, we were able to finish the whole transition in lightning speed with Cannon Group’s help. Cannon developed the RFP, interacted with vendors, and managed the entire negotiations process through the final contract stage. All of this happened in a comparatively short time – less than five months."
